Unless noted as "supertopo", maps are to the relevant IOF standard. "Supertopo" maps have been made for rogaining, with tracks classified to MTBO standards, so they can be used for both.

The concept of discrete map editions is disappearing as the computer and
"just-enough" printing allow progressive updating and extension. Even
geographical map boundaries are being blurred in favour of continuous mapped areas,
from which maps are extracted for specific events. These may make the list
grow more slowly, even though more mapping is being done:-))

Description

Involvement

Chainsaw

OHV

Wainuiomata

0.3sq.km with some clean pine forest, due for the chop, couple of paddocks and steep native bush. Had rogaine mapping and point-cloud products. Mapped at 1:5000/5m in 3 days.

FW and drawing.

Town Belt

DOC

Dunedin

Conversion of three town belt maps of different origins into one at 1:5000/5m. Field check will probably turn into re-fieldwork as 2 of the maps were old and 1:10,000. Add Southern Cemetery.

Set up modern photos and contours, import old maps and massage into position; trace detail for FW. Work on the ground under way.

Rivendell

OHV

Upper Hutt

Park/sprint mapping of the area round the Hutt Forks. 1:5000/5m

FW and Dwg in OCAD. 1:5000/5m. There is a tiny bit of usable forest round the LOTR film location, and a couple of km of nice bush tracks. The project was initially to drop better contours into the Kaitoke Camping area, this is an additional outcome.

Fieldwork and drawing in OCAD. New contours revealed errors in existing, which were bent to match.

ISOM2017 Conversions

OHV

Various

Conversion in OCAD of 6 ISOM2000 maps to ISOM2017. At the same time 17 Super-Topo map files used for rogaines and MTBO were converted for consistency.

OCAD work on the files

McCurdy's Castle

OHV

Upper Hutt

Park/sprint mapping of both banks of Hutt River from Silverstream Br to Totara Park Br 1:5000/5m

FW and Dwg in OCAD mainly on file uppercbd, but a bit of Totara to N and Trentham to S. Had old rogaine coverage, but never done at large scale. Some good patches of detail on both sides.

Wainui High School

OHV

Lower Hutt

Park/sprint mapping of Wainui High School, and the adjoining intermediate and primary school. 1:5000/5m

FW and Dwg in OCAD. Had set up base for all of Wainui but this was the detailed stuff.

Catchpool Short

OHV

Lower Hutt

Increased detail at 1:5000/2.5m of selected parts of Catchpool Valley.

New version at increased scale, park/sprint symbols, contours ex LiDAR-based 1m DEM. They don't appear to be as good as Naenae and Tukutuku, show influence of treetops, but have created some good training areas. FW and Dwg in OCAD

200 projects

WTP Off-track

OHV

Wainuiomata

MTB Park 1:5000/5m. Identify and map off-track bush

Added a fair amount of usable bush round the wetland loop, between the road and Spoonhill tracks. FW and Dwg in OCAD

Haywards Interchange

OHV

Lower Hutt

Landscaped highway interchange 1:5000/5m

Cycleways and shared pathways round h/way interchange, Dry Creek park entrance, links to Manor Park. FW and Dwg in OCAD. Could provide trail courses. Two crossings of SH2 one of which is wet feet.

Drawing in OCAD updates from Nic Gorman's fieldwork. Plus a fair bit of filling in of unusable valley to join existing.

Tukutuku Re-contour

OHV

Lower Hutt

Native bush for WOA Champs middle. 1:7500/5m A4+

Contours had come from the topo 20's. Inserted contours in OCAD from LiDAR-based 1m DEM. Where fieldworked a surprisingly good fit, just a little tweaking to maintain relativity; elsewhere, well there was nothing to tweak.

Raumati Updates

WOC

Kapiti

Urban terrain for WOA Champs Sprint. 1:4000/2.5m

Updates required by planners due to construction and other minor work.

Urban Updates 2017

OHV

Lower Hutt

Avalon Park and Civic Centre 1:5000/5m

Among periodic urban updates two were significant following construction projects. Avalon Park playground was completely made over. And the Civic Centre has new council offices and town hall, with associated landscaping. (Er... the reconstruction is continuing, I can hear my rates being spent...)FW and drawing in OCAD of the most-changed areas. Other parts of the two maps "Avalon" and "HuttCBD" need ongoing maintenance too.

Complete re-work from LIDAR contours. Coastal strip had never been done, or never done properly, coastline may have moved out. Fieldwork and drawing in OCAD. Included interpolating 2.5m contours between the 1's, and preparing for future fieldwork as replanted forest blocks become usable again.

Fieldworked and drew in OCAD to MTBO stds from scratch. No contours from club, used 8m and 15m DEMs from LINZ/Koordinates. Filled in some surroundings off the photos, for context. Single visit, regard as "first cut".

Track classification was not up to date and some poor geometry. Old file was not forthcoming so fieldworked and re-drew in OCAD from scratch. Concentrated on track network, some off-track possibilities noted in passing, no contours. Picnic areas done approximately, they could be mapped at a larger scale for sprint/beginners.

Naseby Shape Correction 2015

DOC

Naseby

13sq.km of complex mining terrain (with some parts out of use). Chequered mapping history since 1984. Have worked on this before but not for about 10yrs. Map symbols non-compliant.

Asked to map a small area near the camping ground (previously too green to use). FW and Dwg in OCAD. This required georeferencing, logically of the whole map, which in turn called for shape correction, which in turn caused thought about rationalising scale/symbols. Extensive consultatation resulted in 1:12,000.

160 projects

Sandpit 2015

DOC

Naseby

Small new area of forested mining terrain, about 0.7sq.km 1:5000

Map from scratch. Produced at 1:5000 for mid distance, need to de-tune to fit adjoining Naseby mapping. FW and Dwg in OCAD

Kaitoke Camping 2014

OHV

Near Upper Hutt

Camping area on the bank of the Pakuratahi River, about 0.3q.km 1:5000

Set up in OCAD from super-topo and LINZ photos. Ran mapping training session. Trainees drew first edition but project stalled. Used first edition to re-fieldwork to usable standard.

OHV Sprintify Project 2014

OHV

Hutt Valley

Park maps 1:5000 on the valley floor including the riverbank. Files are in 9 abutting zones up the valley.

Convert maps in OCAD from 1:7500-print-at-5000, to sprint specifications 1:5000. Took the opportunity to bring in latest aerial photos from LINZ which show up position errors. Add the city 5m contours (just Lower Hutt so far). Some limited fieldwork.

Waikato Rogaine Areas 2014

OW

Near Hamilton

Areas identified for short rogaines

Set up map files in OCAD with 20m topo contours and aerial photos from LINZ. In one case, tracing detail from photos and MTB Park brochure. Purpose to assist local club members on the ground.

Whaka Forest 2014

OBOP

Rotorua

Large regularly used rogaine and MTB area 85sq.km. 1:20,000/5-10m. Always used in sections. File was bloated by inappropriate detail, symbol proliferation and colour layering.

Cut off urban area (sprint detail) and replace with rogaine-level mapping (10sq.km). Cut off seldom-used Highlands area (30sq.km.) Rationalise symbol table. To the remaining 45sq.km reimport city 5m contours, hide the 5's, and hand-prune fictional shapes to give sensible 10m contours. Fix multiple colour layers. Limited fieldwork with accent on forthcoming foot event (cherry-picking basis). Devise scheme to produce either foot or MTB version of the map (tracks are foot-only, bike-only, or multi-use.) Dwg in OCAD.

Ross Creek 2014

DOC

Dunedin

Regularly used park map with reservoir in town belt, permanent course. 1:5,000/5m A4

Geo-reference and correct distortion in OCAD, convert to ISSOM, bring in new city contours, adjust fit with Wakari Creek (below).

Wakari Creek 2014

DOC

Dunedin

Small bush area with extensive MTB tracks. 1:5000/5m A4 map covers 0.4sq.km but most tracks are within half of that

Map from scratch to ISSOM, using city contours and aerial photography. Produce MTBO version of part. Too detailed for my GPS accuracy but MTB club had a good file of tracks. FW and Dwg in OCAD

Maramarua 2013

NWOC

South Auckland

Two thirds of a 39sq.km block of Maramarua Forest, to MTBO specifications. 1:20,000/10m A3++

Map from scratch, using forest company contours and two dates of aerial photography. Extensive prep meant only 4 days in the field. FW and Dwg in OCAD

Redwoods 2013

OBOP

Rotorua

Well-used flat area close to town, 1:5000/2.5m A4+

Geo-reference and remap at 1:5000. Previous mapping 1:10,000/5m legacy standard, this is fresh mapping. FW and Dwg in OCAD

Codgers MTB Park 2013

NOC

Nelson

Steep forest with network of MTB trails 1:15,000/10m A4
